IMPROVEMENT IN STOVE-PIPE ATTACHMENTS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 183,297, dated October 17, 1876; application filed July 15, 1876.

To all whom it may concern: -Be it known that I, GEORGE H. HANCOCK, of Richmond Factory, in the county of Rich- ,1110l1d and State of Georgia, have invented a the stove, with an adjustable clothes-drying fork or rack, and an adjustable lamp-support.

In the drawing, Arepresents an upright supporting standard or post, that is rigidly secured to the top plate or other part of a stove. A friction-box, B, with rubber lining or clamp screws, slides along standards A, and may be set to any height thereon. The

. friction-box B has guides for a sliding bar, 0,

that carries at its outer end a pivot-socket, D, to which a drying fork or rack, E, is swiveled,

which is, by means of the standard and sliding rod, readily set closer to, or farther from, the stove, as described.

The standard A supports in a top bracket, A, a sliding bar, F, at the end of which is adjusted, in a suitable friction or clamp box, F, the downward-extending rod G, which carries at the lower end the retaining-clamp box or bracket G for the lamp, so that the same may be placed in any suitable position above or near the stove.

The attachment forms, in a simple manner, a neat and convenient clothes drying and lamp-supporting device, which may be placed on any stove and set to any position required.

Having thus described my invention, I

claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- A stove attachment composed of a supporting-standard, A, attached to stove, with adjustable arms 0 and F sliding in guide sockets or.brackets thereon, and supporting, respectively, a swiveled clothes rack or fork, E,

and an adjustable lamp box or bracket, G, substantially in the manner and for the purpose set forth.
